The Afghan resistance leadership have fled to Turkey and the Taliban have taken total control of the country with the capture of the Panjshir Valley, the jihadists claimed today.
The Islamists released footage of their white banner flying over the provincial capital of Bazarak on Monday after a swift battle which saw them overwhelm the resistance with high-tech weaponry abandoned by the Americans.
Resistance leader Ahmad Massoud appeared to admit defeat in an audio message sent to the media in which he called on Afghans for a 'a national uprising for the dignity, freedom and prosperity of our country.'
Taliban spokesman Tariq Ghazniwal said: 'Panjshir does not have internet. How is he (Ahmad Massoud) posting online from there? Ahmad Massoud is in Turkey.'
He said that despite efforts by jihadist chiefs to give the resistance 15 days to surrender, they refused, 'so we were compelled to attack.'
If it is proven true that Massoud, 32 - the son of legendary freedom fighter Ahmad Shah, the 'Lion of the Panjshir' - has fled, it will surely be a hammer blow to any remaining resistance fighters in the province.
Commanders from the vanquished Afghan National Army and their staff had headed to the region to join up with Massoud's band of warriors, ethnic Tajiks who have long fought against Taliban rule.
Massoud, a King's College London and Sandhurst graduate, was reportedly still in the province as of Sunday with former vice president and ally Amrullah Saleh.
They had offered peace talks to the jihadists which were rejected.
The Taliban has raised its flag outside its new 'headquarters' in Panjshir province - the last holdout of anti-Taliban forces in Afghanistan since the group's blitz across the country last month

All according to the globalist/ChiCom plan.
Nice of biden to give them 85 billion worth of armements. They’re our sworn enemy, remember?
The same biden wants to take guns from non-violent Americans.
Is someone giving them lessons how to operate all this equipment?
They’ll filter back into the valley after the Taliban returns to winter quarters. This is why the game never ends in Afghanistan.
Biden gets another victory. Mission accomplished.
“...The Italian aid agency Emergency said Taliban forces had reached the Panjshir village of Anabah, where they run a surgical centre.
‘Many people have fled from local villages in recent days,’ Emergency said in a statement on Saturday, adding that it was continuing to provide medical services and treating a ‘small number of wounded’.
Anabah lies 15 miles north inside the 71-mile-long valley, but unconfirmed reports suggested the Taliban had seized other areas too.
The Taliban had reportedly gained control of four of the valley’s seven districts and captured administrative buildings in the capital of Bazarak, The Times reported.
Bill Roggio, managing editor of the US-based Long War Journal, said on Sunday that while there was still a ‘fog of war’ - with unconfirmed reports the Taliban had captured multiple districts - ‘it looks bad’.
Both sides claim to have inflicted heavy losses on the other.
The Taliban is using weaponry left behind by American troops (pictured: Taliban using US armoured vehicle) to crush the last pockets of resistance to its takeover of Afghanistan
‘The Taliban army has been hardened with 20 years of war, and make no mistake, the Taliban trained an army,’ Roggio tweeted on Sunday, adding that ‘the odds were long’ for the Panjshir resistance.
‘The Taliban army was injected with a massive amount of weapons and munitions after the US withdrawal and collapse of the ANA’ (Afghan National Army), he added.
Saleh, who is holed up in Panjshir alongside Ahmad Massoud also warned of a grim situation at the weekend, speaking of a ‘large-scale humanitarian crisis’, with thousands ‘displaced by the Taliban onslaught’.
The Panjshir Valley, surrounded by jagged snow-capped peaks, offers a natural defensive advantage, with fighters launching ambushes firing from the high tops down into the valley....”

Probably the ones the US trained you think ?.
If those guys had any at gratitude at all they’d be flying this flag instead.
I’m not surprised. They had the Pakistanis providing air support according to many reports.
So it appears to me that leaving the arms behind for the Taliban was... part of the plan...
Embrace the suck. You did this.
The Taliban will get exhausted after partying with children and goats.
Then the war continues...
That’s correct. Remind all you know. Daily.
Ever notice how religious tolerance depends on the religion at issue? Islam is tolerated everywhere.
Christianity is restricted, forbidden, oppressed, or subject to crackdown for health violations or political stances or whatever else the authorities can find to cite.
But if you’re a muslim you can honor kill, mutilate your daughters, lock up your wives, rape infidels, cross US borders, have your own laws within a nation’s sovereign borders, get an entire state nation handed over to you.
Taliban Joe is happy. I suspect surveillance and intelligence was supplied from the US forces in Pakistan to make sure that the resistance was crushed and our new allies won a sweeping victory.
That’s not what is being reported on Indian TV. They are reporting that the commander of the Taliban attack has been killed and the resistance has shot down a Pakistan chopper. Also that the Taliban have been able to get only a little way into the valley on the main road but not onto any of the other roads.
“The Taliban claim Afghan resistance leader - son of legendary ‘Lion of Panjshir - has fled to TURKEY and they have total control of Afghanistan after sweeping to victory armed with US-abandoned weapons”
Didn’t Biden say that those weapons would be useless to the taliban because the taliban were too primitive and stupid to operate them.
All according to Biden’s plan.
What is the Q-like expression for “trust the plan” when it comes to Biden? Maybe the Qtards will glom onto that and leave us alone.
Well, that didn’t take long.
